If you need to remove the bolster, leave the controller alone, just unplug it.

Me?? Give BeatUpBob a "brake"?? That is just "wish"full thinking. That boy has been in the sun way too long. Doesn't really know what is good for him. Like a BrakeSmart.

Tell ya what, guys - - after I saw the plumbing bill, I think I will stick to that gorgeous, marvelous, paid for Jordan. OUCH
And Scotty, I know all about your "little workout". Them spheres ain't little work outs, baby. Leave them alone and behave yourself - - let mama nature do her thing in getting you healed. Then you can go play with your spheres.

There is a new proportional brake controller called the Odyssey by Valley Industries. It is similar to the Prodigy, but it has four solid state accelerometers instead of two. It's priced around $150. I don't know how well it works yet as it will be installed on my new 3500 next week. I don't mind being a lab rat in this case. I did talk to a factory rep from Valley and he said it was quite an improvement over the Prodigy. After I've used it for a bit, which may not be until next spring, I'll post a report.
I'm also going with the Valley under bed mount 16K hitch. My 5'ver is an Alpenlite with a GVWR of 12,500 lbs. I'm usually about 1,000 lbs. under gross when towing. Can't wait to experience the Dodge when towing. It should be a huge improvement over my Chevy 3500 DRW big block gasser.
